Palestine announces national day of mourning after 16 deaths at protests

Palestinian authorities have announced a day of national mourning following the death of at least 16 people and the injury of hundreds during protests at the border of Israel. The protests are part of a six-week plan calling for refugees to be allowed back to their homes in Israel. The UN Security Council has not decided on any action following an emergency meeting to discuss the incident, instead calling for an 'independent investigation'.
